5 MP Polarization Color Camera

LUCID Vision Labs, Inc. (Richmond, BC, Canada) recently released a color version of its 5 Megapixel Phoenix polarization camera. The 5 MP global shutter sensor with a pixel size of 3.45µm and frame rates of up to 24 fps is based on the popular IMX250 Sony Pregius CMOS color sensor with polarizing filters added to the pixel. The sensor has four different directional polarizing filters (0°, 90°, 45°, and 135°) on every 2 by 2 array of pixels. The Phoenix color polarization camera allows users to compute both color and angle of polarization information for each image pixel.

SoC Embedded Imaging Processor Board

Critical Link, LLC (Syracuse, NY) introduced the MitySOM-A10S-DSC processor board for the next generation of embedded imaging applications. The new board features dual-side connectors for stack-through configurations. It is a highly-configurable system-on-module (SoM) featuring the Intel®/Altera Arria® 10 SoC with dual core ARM and up to 480KLE FPGA fabric. The module includes on-board power supplies, two DDR4 RAM memory subsystems, and a rich set of user interfaces. The A10 board supports both OpenCL™ and high-level synthesis (HLS) tools for accelerating design cycles and targeting C/C++ code to the FPGA.

Block Camera

Tamron's first block camera, the MP2030M-GS, from FRAMOS Technologies (Ontario, Canada) features 30x zoom and global shutter imaging. The MP2030M-GS is equipped with Sony's IMX265, an industrial grade 1/1.8” Global Shutter CMOS sensor. The state-of-art sensor used in this device provides 3.19 Megapixel resolution with high light sensitivity and low noise. It is possible to select between various output modes – from NTSC/PAL to 1080p/60. The field of view is between 60° and 2.5° and features f-stop between 1.5 and 4.8, depending on the zoom factor. The MP2030M-GS camera module has both LVDS and composite video and can be controlled via VISCA.

Surface Texture Visualization/Analysis Software

Digital Metrology Solutions, Inc. (Columbus, IN) have announced the release of OmniSurf3D for 3D surface texture visualization and analysis. The new software provides a suite of three-dimensional surface analysis tools. The OmniSurf3D software package's primary strength is its streamlined interface which conveniently puts all basic settings in one place: preprocessing to account for missing pixels, outliers, etc.; several common reference geometries for removing overall shape to reveal the surface texture; filtering to highlight large-scale waviness or fine-scale roughness; and dozens of ISO and custom Parameters to describe the most critical aspects of the surface.
